Hello,
The only way to interface with your hardware is if the device manufacturer has provided DLLs or drivers built specifically to interface with LabVIEW. In the event that they have provided you with DLLs and the means to use them for video capture, then you may be able to make use of those DLL functions within LabVIEW through the Call Library Function Node.
Depending on what kind of data is returned by those functions, you may be able to display the data in LabVIEW by modifying the data to fit into the LabVIEW image datatype. The image datatype is basically a 2D array of values, but this array has to be modified into that datatype. You can do this if you have the Vision Development Module installed on your system. This software is a toolkit for LabVIEW
.
You can find out more about the Vision Development Module by navigating to:
Programmable Vision Functions

Take a look at that documentation and try contacting the board manufacturer to find out if they have any DLL functions that you can use to access the board from LabVIEW. Let me know if you have any additional questions on this issue.
